Guest guest Posted May 6, 2006 Report Share Posted May 6, 2006 Rhubarb is extremely tart so you need to sweeten it. It's good cooked with apples in applesauce, I make sweet bread and muffins with, cobblers too. I posted a rhubarb chutney recipe that's good. I have never seen it steamed and served as a veggie though, way too sour.

Guest guest Posted May 6, 2006 Report Share Posted May 6, 2006 I can remember going to my aunt's home in Indiana as a child and eating raw rhubarb staight from her garden. Didn't take much to pucker you up in a major way. LOL She would then make us strawberry rhubarb pie, which was delicious. Here are 92 recipes that use Rhubarb. http://search.allrecipes.com/recipe/quick.aspx?q1=rhubarb & lnkid=65 & image1.x=8 & im\ age1.y=8 & Page=1 I second what you say Donna.

Guest guest Posted May 6, 2006 Report Share Posted May 6, 2006 We used to eat raw rhubarb when I was a child, too. We would sit with a bowl of sugar, dip the rhubarb into it and bite a chunk off - the combination of tart and sweet was so deliciously painful. My mum used to make rhubarb crumble, and rhubarb and ginger jam with chunks of crystalised ginger - mmmm, yummy.

Guest guest Posted May 6, 2006 Report Share Posted May 6, 2006 There goes that theory; I had heard uncooked rhubarb was poisonous! Glad it's not true. -Erin , " christie_0131 " <christie0131 wrote: > > We used to eat raw rhubarb when I was a child, too.

Guest guest Posted May 6, 2006 Report Share Posted May 6, 2006 It's not a theory as far as I know the top leaves are poisonous. I have enevr seen the leaves on rhubarb in the markets but I know my Gran was always terrified we would eat them from her garden so she would tell us over and over not to touch the rhubarb leaves.

Guest guest Posted May 6, 2006 Report Share Posted May 6, 2006 Rhubarb stalks, beet greens and spinach all have moderate amounts of oxylic acid inthem. For people that have kidney problems, then one should not eat them. Other foods have Oxylic acid in them also. It should not hurt anyone normally. Oxylic acid can cause kidney stones in some people. A few years ago my brother have kidney stones. I had an email discussion with him about a month ago about this. He said his doc told him not to eat spinach, berries, tofu, beans, rhubarb and some other things. I never heard of oxylic acid in the foods other than what I originally mentioned. I did a search and found those other foods did not have that much oxylic acid in them. I think the main reason he got stones was because he was doing triathalons and not drinking enough water. The leaves of rhubarb do contain poisonous amounts of oxylic acid and do as Donna's Grandma told her.

Guest guest Posted May 6, 2006 Report Share Posted May 6, 2006 You are right, the leaves are. But they make an excellent pesticide if you soak them in water for a few days and save the water. Do NOT spray on food plants. Great for keeping aphids off roses.

Guest guest Posted May 7, 2006 Report Share Posted May 7, 2006 Usually lurk and glean tons of info here as myself and family work on being vegheads together... me veg for awhile, dh and dd getting there. Is isn't the stalk of rhubarb that is poisonous, it is the leaves that you can't eat. They are poisonous. Grew up picking and eating rhubarb in Wisconsin. Here in Hawaii it is outlandishly expensive and sickly looking in the produce department. sigh...
